Growth and Flowering of Antirrhinum Majus L. Under Varying Temperatures

Khan, Pakistan 1Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Plants of an early flowering cultivar ‘Chimes White’ of Antirrhinum were subjected to three temperature regimes (0, 10 and 20°C) at 6-leaf pair stage to observe their effects on the flowering time and plant quality. Plants at higher temperature (20°C) flowered earlier (86 days) than the lower ones i.e. 109 days (10°C) and 145 days (0°C). However, maximum flower numbers (33) were counted in plants at 10°C followed by 20°C (29). Plants at 0°C produced only seven flower buds. The quality of plants was improved at 10°C temperature; whereas, it was poor at 0°C.

Snapdragon Rust, RPD No
report on RPD No. 635 PLANT July 1982 DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES DISEASE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN SNAPDRAGON RUST Rust caused by the fungus Puccinia antirrhini is one of the most widespread and damaging diseases of snap- dragon (Antirrhinum majus). This worldwide disease was first reported in Santa Cruz, California, in 1879. The first known instance of it in Illinois was at Lake Forest in 1912. A few of the related wild native species of Linaria (butter-and-eggs) and Cordylanthus (bird’s beak) are only slightly susceptible. Infection in snapdragons may develop rapidly, stunting the shoots and flower spikes. When severe, rusted plants Figure 1. Snapdragon rust. Note the “halos” around may wilt and die before or during flowering. During dry the rust pustule (courtesy G.W. Simone). weather, severely rusted leaves dry up and die. In warm humid regions the rust pustules are invaded by secondary fungi (principally species of Fusarium) that may kill the leaves and stems. Rust is most serious in cool humid climates and is checked by extended periods of hot, dry weather. Rust affects snapdragons of all ages, from seedlings and cuttings to mature plants, both in the field and in the greenhouse. Leaves become the most heavily infected, but young stems, petioles, flower (calyx) structures, and seed capsules often are also severely attacked. Leaves Figure 2. Close-up of rust on snapdragon leaves. that are heavily rusted wilt as though from lack of water. When flowers are infected, the ovaries are destroyed, reducing seed production. SYMPTOMS The first symptom is the presence of scattered, small yellow flecks, less than 1/16 (2 mm) in diameter, just under the epidermis on the undersides of the leaves.

The Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico
THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO Issued quarterly by the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Puerto Rico, for the publi cation of articles by members of its personnel, or others, dealing with any of the more technical aspects of scientific agriculture in Puerto Rico or the Caribbean Area. Vol. XLVII July 1963 No. 3 A Strain of Squash-Mosaic Virus and other Cucurbit Viruses Found in Puerto Rico, During 1958-62 J. Enrique Pérez1 INTRODUCTION Cucurbit viruses reported from Puerto Rico so far include virus "A" and virus "B", described and characterized by Adsuar and Cruz Miret (l)2. These authors found virus "B" to be a strain of cucumber virus 1 by cross- protection tests with Price's No. 6 strain in zinnia (2) and host-range studies. They found that virus "A" infected only cucurbitaceous hosts and that it had similar dilution and inactivation end-points as virus "B". Since that time no additional reports have been made on new virus diseases of cucurbits in Puerto Rico. Occasional reports have been made on appearance of viruslike symptoms on cucurbits, but no detailed studies of these condi tions have been made. In May 1958, observations made in an experimental plantation of musk- melon Cucumis meló L. var. Smith Perfect at the Solis farm led to a pre liminary diagnosis of virus disease. The leaves of a large number of plants were mottled showing blisterlike areas of dark-green color and deformation of the younger leaves. Many plants were seen to be stunted (8).

Southern Garden History Plant Lists
Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

Floral Organogenesis in Antirrhinum Majus (Scrophulariaceae)
Proc. Indian Acad. Sci., Vol. 88 B, Part II, Number 3, May 1979, pp. 183-188, ® printed in India. Floral organogenesis in Antirrhinum majus (Scrophulariaceae) V SINGH and D K JAIN* Department of Botany, Meerut University, Meerut 250 001 * School of Plant Morphology, Meerut College, Meerut 250 001 MS received 24 August 1978 Abstract. The various appendages (sepals, petals, stamens and carpels) in the flower of Antirrhinum are initiated in a centripetal sequence. The five sepal pri- mordia are initiated in a rapid succession as discrete units. The calyx tube is formed due to the fusion of marginal meristems of adjacent sepal primordia. The corolla tube is also initiated by the fusion of marginal meristems at the back of stamen primordia. In the later stage of development, it extends in length by zonal growth. Of the five stamen primordia formed, the posterior one develops into a staminode. The septum, which bears placentae, grows from the summit of the floral apex as in typical axile placentation. Keywords. Antirrhinum majus; floral organogenesis; axile placentation. 1. Introduction Scrophulariaceae has received considerable attention from earlier morphologists who studied the floral anatomy and embryology in the family (see Davis 1966; Puri and Saxena 1972). Harts (1956) made a detailed investigation of the morpho- logy of the gynoecium and Leinfellner (1951) discussed the placentation in some Scrophulariaceae. Investigations on floral development are, however, completely lacking except for brief observations on the development of gynoecium by Hartl (1956) and some brief remarks on Antirrhinum by Esau (1977). In this paper a 3-dimensional account of the floral organogenesis in Antirrhinum majus based on the fine dissection technique is presented.
